Results of the "One Resource Kit for Teachers" WADA-AIESEP Project

In March 2014, AIESEP members from six countries were undertook a project entitled "One resource kit for teachers" promoted by WADA, UNESCO, IOC, IPC, ICSSPE and IFPC. The project was aimed at developing a resource, designed to help teachers deliver their existing curriculum requirements for values education (VbE). The purpose of this paper is to present the tool kit realized according to the call and the direction for future implementations. The project has been articulated into five phases: (1) a literature search on VbE through sport and on good practice examples; (2) a global scan on VbE curricula across the globe using a qualitative method; (3) the development of the resource kit for teachers for promoting the values of Respect, Inclusion and Equity; (4) an on-line piloting of the materials with teachers; (5) the review of the toolkit contents according to the feedback received from educators across the globe. The review of the literature establish a concrete foundation for VbE through sport (Koh e Camirè, 2015), together with the results from the global scan. The toolkit employs a range of curriculum activities and support materials (e.g. didactic units, values-based games, teaching hints, assessment proposal, a glossary) using a three-level structure according to an ecological approach. The toolkit has been based on a solid scientific literature that underlined how sportbased and active learning strategies are effective in delivering VbE. The project challenged Partners in developing a toolkit that embraces diversities across cultures. Moreover, the toolkit would inspire changes in teachers' practices on VbE across all continents.
